In a move that will benefit over 4.39 lakh pensioners in Madhya Pradesh, the state cabinet today cleared a proposal to hike the pension amount by more than double as per the Seventh Pay Commission recommendations.
The cabinet also gave its nod to double the monthly honorarium of anganwadi workers.
The decisions come months ahead of the state Assembly elections that are due by the end of the year.
"The state cabinet chaired by Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan approved the proposal to provide the benefits of the Seventh Pay to the pensioners (including retired government employees and those getting family pension)," public relations minister Narottam Mishra said.
"Effectively, pension would go up by 2.57 times. This would put an additional burden of Rs 850 crore on the state exchequer. This would benefit 4.39 pensioners in the state," he said.
The pensioners would get the benefit with retrospective effect starting from January 1, 2016.
